Dual Pixels - We've gotten word that next week, all of the titles you see in the image above will be remastered into what we currently know as Kingdom Hearts: HD Remix or Kingdom Hearts: Remembrance. Our reoccurring source Geno, who had been the first to break news about the Castlevania Lord of Shadows sequel prior to anyone else, has informed us

I remember playing Kingdom Hearts 1 when I was 12 in 2002. It was the first game I ever cried to. The ending was so beautiful.

Thom I would not pass up these games. I remember when I first heard about the disney in the game I refused to play it. My childhood friend promised if I didnt like the game after playing two hours he would buy me a pizza. Sad to say, I never got that pizza. The next day I bought a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts.

I remember talking a lot of shit about the first Kingdom Hearts. Calling it gay cause of all the Disney characters...I didn't even really know much about the game other than the fact that it had Disney characters in it....then my friend brought it over one day and lets just say I ate a lot of my words that day. Kinda learned not to judge a book by it's cover after that incident cause that game became one of my favorite RPG's. Right behind Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy 10.

@1.1.7 Same thing happened to me. I remember getting on the school bus and my friend showed me Kingdom Hearts in EGM. I couldn't believe he was showing me a Disney game, so I definitely clowned him for it. Then the game came out and it became one of my favorite series ever. I have all the games except Birth By Sleep because S-E won't put it on the damn PSN store so I can download it on Vita. This news here must be the reason why.

13 disagrees say otherwise iamlegend9999 (one of those were mine). SE has been dragging this series through the mud just to make a quick buck. Honestly, I would have preferred KH3 news, but this...it's a step in the right direction.

Wouldn't you think they would wait untill Dream Drop Distance is out before they do something like this

I mean isn't DDD a key game to play before they bring out KH3...I know a long way off but still

The ending of DDD apparently sets up the events of KH3 so you would think that would be in here aswell

I mean it's bad enough they came up the most ridiculous idea of making them for Nintendos handhelds anyway since most KH fans are more likely to have a PS3/PSP/PSV instead...especialy with DDD a game which is needed to understand the story in KH3

And you base it on what....a rumor. In that case Sony lost as in most of the founding people from square formed Mistwalker and refuse to work on anything sony. That's pretty bad when a japanese company gives them the cold shoulder. That fact but if rumors are what you like then how about splinter cell on 360 exclusive. Since journey keeps being brought up like a full title then I guess arcade games count and in that case MS has way more exclusives this gen then sony and at the retail level both company's are neck in neck with ms having a small advantage an that's funny as sony fans claim ms has no games bu was really true is sony had no games period until just the last few years.

I never played any of the sequels. I remember liking the first game, just not enough to buy the others when they came out. I've been thinking of trying one of the DS or that new 3DS games, but feel like I'd kind of be "out of the loop." I'd like to get into 'em again (I remember really loving some parts of the first game) but the franchise isn't really accessible at the moment.

Thanks largely to Sony's removal of b/c, and S-E's refusal to toss any of the PSP games up on the PSN.

Even if they dont, give them a try, Thom, if you can, they are great. I will say the first one is a bit underwhelming but from KH2 onwards where they knew they had a success, the plot and gameplay options really picked up.

Dont know why your sorry I have a PS3 and Vita and if this is true I will get the PS3 version but from a business stand point it makes no sense not to break some ground in to every market if you are going to re-release every single game.

What I am basically trying to say is if you are releasing a collection of all your games why would you only want to break into part of the market and not all of the market? It just makes 0 sense at this point in the console cycle.

EDIT: Ah the old "it was on..." argument, some people freaked out when the KH series headed to Nintendo too and that was new ground for them. Now yeah I get it, the series right now is known for being a Sony/Nintendo game but I just dont see the point in them not releasing a 360 version as well to introduce more people into the series that more people should be experiencing. Its not like its a bad thing if it comes to the 360, it just means more people will be able to enjoy a great game.

Oh wait I forgot, people with other consoles are not allowed to have fun....

Also believe me I get where you and probably the people that disagreed with me are coming from but honestly can you tell me its a bad thing if more people are playing a great game? Is there really such an issue with that? I mean like I said I am fine because I have a PS3 if this rumor is true but I would also like it if more people could enjoy this game.

@wwm0nkey It doesn't matter that is what on the PS and Nintendo platforms in the past but the reason it's coming to Wii U and Vita are because they're just getting started and PS3 may be the lead platform. The amount of work to port it to 360 may not be worth it when by the time this is released the 360 market may have moved on while Sony is known for supporting their consoles after launch. Look at PSP currently in Japan and PS2 in third world countries today. There's still going to be a market for physical PS3 games and digital PS3 games well after a PS4 launch.

wwm0nkey The games contain FF characters that are exclusive to the PS brand. And the kingdom hearts spin-offs always been on Nintendo's handheld console or SONY's. @below Cause this gaming brand been on Nintendo's console(console counts as home and handheld) already

That's just not true at all, Chain of Memories on GBA had all the "exclusive" Final Fantasy characters in it from Kingdom Hearts 1. And Kingdom Hearts : Re : Coded had Cloud and Squall (Leon). And that's just off the top of my head. There is no truth what so ever in this "playstation exclusive Final Fantasy characters" rumor, Square can put whatever characters they created in whatever they want.

As already mentioned, Kingdom Hearts has never been on an Xbox platform. When a nice chunk of the game's sales come from Japan, and we know the situation there for the Xbox, it doesn't make as much sense to port over. I'm also imagining some sort of deal with Sony and Nintendo in addition.

At this point, if you want it, get it for one of the [three] platforms it's coming to. Besides, it's not like the absence of a 360 version hurts you much anyway, right? ;)

Oh no it doesnt effect me at all like I said due to me owning a PS3 but 360 still has a couple of million units over here so it would help with sales in the west but obviously would not effect sales in Japan like you stated.

It boggles my mind how dense people can be. People are still saying it's economically viable for a 3rd party publisher like Square Enix to skip a platform just because stupid things like loyalty.

Remember when all these PS3 loyalists constnatly claimed that MGS would NEVER be on 360? Well Rising was announced for 360 & PS3. Remember when people said it was just a spin off & 360 will never get the real franchise. Well the HD collection was released for 360 & PS3.

Now people are still trying to cling on to this imaginary thing called loyalty & continue to tout that the 360 will never get MGS1 & MGS4.

It does not make sense to skip a console release because of ridiculous things like that.

MGS HD sold .44 million units on the 360 compared to the .61 million on PS3.

There is no such thing as loyalty in the gaming business & the only way this game won't come out on the 360 is if Sony & Nintendo personally pay Square Enix not to & I doubt they would do that.
